KULAI: An injured pregnant woman suffered a miscarriage following a three-vehicle crash at KM36.6 of the North-South Expressway (NSE), which left five other people severely injured last night.
The unidentified woman was among the six victims injured after a lorry driver heading south lost control of his vehicle, crashed into the highway guardrail barrier, and landed in the northbound lane.
Seconds later two other vehicles crashed into it (the lorry).
District police chief Superintendent Tan Seng Lee said the woman's husband informed the police that when they sought treatment at Kulai Hospital following the 11pm accident, his wife's pregnancy was reported to be in stable condition.
However, in a follow-up treatment at Sultanah Aminah Hospital, she developed complications and was advised by the medical staff to abort the pregnancy.
He declined to speculate if the injuries sustained by his wife caused the complications to her pregnancy.
"The doctors and the medical report should be able to establish the cause," he said.
